About the Job A fast-growing tech startup is transforming how small and medium-sized businesses approach cybersecurity and compliance—by automating thousands of technical tasks at the click of a button. Backed by a leading venture capital investor, the team operates from a state-of-the-art office in the North East of England. Description - Design, develop, and deploy end-to-end AI/ML-powered features and applications using Python and modern frameworks. - Build, integrate, and maintain machine learning models/solutions—from data pipelines to API deployment and user-facing delivery. - Collaborate with product managers, domain experts, and engineers to translate business needs into intelligent technologies. - Build robust backend systems and APIs (e.g., FastAPI, Django, Flask) to support AI-driven workflows. - Develop user-friendly frontend interfaces (e.g., React, TypeScript) that surface ML insights and drive engagement. - Lead the development, evaluation, and monitoring of models (LLMs, predictive/classification, agentic workflows), ensuring alignment with security and compliance standards. - Implement best practices for MLOps, including CI/CD, automated testing, model versioning, and data validation. - Architect integrations with vector databases, cloud platforms, and retrieval-augmented generation systems. Qualifications - 3+ years of production experience delivering full-stack AI/ML applications. - Proficient in Python (especially for ML using libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) and backend frameworks (FastAPI, Django, Flask). - Experience with frontend frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular. - Practical expertise in building and scaling ML models (LLMs, NLP, classification) and deploying them as APIs/services. - Strong skills in MLOps: containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), cloud deployment (AWS, GCP, Azure), and CI/CD. - Experience with prompt engineering, LLM evaluation, and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS). - Excellent communication skills and experience working cross-functionally.
